- To all whom/fit mag concern:

Be it known that I, CLARK FISHER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Trenton,

in the countyof Mercer and State of New J ersey, haveinvented certain new and useful In1-- provements in Vises, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the class of metal vises which are usually attached to workbenches, and in which all the members constituting the vise proper are connected and removable from the bench, as opposed to that class in which the fixed jaw of the vise is a part of the bench itself. x

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 28th day of April, A. D. 1883.
